"Ryoko, why didn't you tell me these two things?!"

Wenshui County, the main house of the county, in the boudoir of Takeda Ryoko.

Li Guanqi was sitting at the desk, pushing away a lot of paper, holding two pieces of paper in his hands, looking at Takeda Ryoko next to him in disbelief.

"Ah, ah?"

Seeing this scene, Takeda Ryoko immediately panicked and hurriedly took the two sheets of paper to check.

However, after scanning her eyes, she became more and more surprised.

What's wrong with these two things?

"First!"

Li Guanqi grabbed back a piece of paper and pointed to the deeds recorded on it, "The Beicun family wanted to annex many families in the county a hundred years ago, and it was still the kind of annexation that confiscated the family flag, but in the end, the Minos family made a fuss. , which led to failure. You didn't tell me about this, and you didn't give me this piece of information that day!"

"This…"

Takeda Ryoko's neck shrank, "This piece of information is from the bottom of the box. I accidentally left it out that day and didn't take it out..."

"It doesn't really matter, you can guess."

Li Guanqi nodded, "But, the most important thing is the second thing!"

After speaking, he took back the second piece of paper from Takeda Ryoko, pointed to the scribbled writing on it, and said solemnly: "52 years ago, in Anno County next door, the strongest family became a tiger family, and then the palace Just go out of your way to support another local Sakura family that is highly respected.

The court not only provided support in all aspects, but also directly provided resources to help them raise a Liuhe-level alien blood warrior to fight against the Liuhe-level of the tiger family.

why is that? "

Li Guanqi pointed to the second piece of paper, looked at Ryoko Takeda and asked, "Sakura shogunate, does not allow the orc family to become the strongest family in a county? If this happens, they will forcibly support another local Sakura family to compete. ? Is that so?"

"Yes, yes."

Takeda Ryoko nodded, very surprised, "Isn't our shogunate doing this all the time? Do you need to ask?"

"Fairy Wood"

"what!"

Hearing this, Li Guanqi suddenly smiled and sat back in the chair clutching the piece of paper, feeling indescribably comfortable.

The things recorded on this piece of paper are not information provided by Takeda Ryoko.

It was Li Guanqi himself, who consulted the dossier room of the county head office during these three days, and noticed some things, and then recorded it himself and wrote it by himself.

The archives of Wenshui County not only recorded events in their own county, but also recorded the events in Anye County next door.

Because at that time, in order to support the local family in Anye County, the court ordered Wenshui County to cede a lot of mineral resources in the past, in order to enhance the strength of the local family.

Li Guanqi looked at these files, originally planning to gather intelligence and see if there were any opportunities for local power relations.

But he didn't expect that he actually found out about it.

If this is the case, then his plan can be completely overturned, and the second and third steps that were originally planned to be taken are no longer necessary.

Because this first step is completed, things are already done.

"Ryoko, you really should have told me this."

Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, "Really, I wasted so many of my brain cells thinking about the next plan."

"what??"

Takeda Ryoko was completely at a loss at this time, and couldn't understand what Li Guanqi was talking about.

"Why didn't you tell me."

Li Guanqi was still a little hard to calm the joy in his heart, looked at Takeda Ryoko and said with a smile: "If the orcs become the strongest family in a county, then the palace will directly contribute to support another local Sakura family, this matter. You should have told me."

"I don't understand."

Takeda Ryoko looked at Li Guanqi with a strange expression, "Although this matter is not written in the cherry blossom rules, it is a common sense, everyone knows, why do you need me to say it.

So 3 days ago, you told me that after the Kitamura house was brought down, I was very puzzled to support the Sakai family who were all cat people.

Because the two families stand against each other, but they are both orc families, and there is no cherry blossom family, and the above will definitely intervene.

After all, even if the group of cat people were changed to our Sakura people's surnames, they would still be cat people.

I only understand now, so you don't know this often when watching chess... ah, I know! "

After speaking, Takeda Ryoko suddenly realized, "Guanqi, you are from Daluo like Senior Wang Xiu, so you must not know the common sense of our Sakura Shogunate."

"certainly."

Li Guanqi smiled helplessly.

"But I still don't understand."

Takeda Ryoko looked at him suspiciously, "Knowing this, does it help our affairs?"

"Of course there is."

Li Guanqi nodded and said with a chuckle: "And it is a very, very huge relationship. This unwritten rule of the Sakura Shogunate, applied to Wenshui County, will lead to something happening.

- If the Kitamura family falls and the Minos family becomes the strongest, then the top of the court will do their best to support a local Sakura family to compete with the Minos family.

in other words.

The fall of the Beicun family is a good thing for the families in Wenshui County.

Because they all have the potential to become the family supported by the palace.

So, how did the Kitamura family fall?

If the major families in Wenshui County can truly unite as one, I don't think this is a difficult task.

The Beicun family is not a clean family. What they have done for hundreds of years has definitely violated many serious crimes in the law of cherry blossoms, and even committed the crime of death.

In such a huge county, many families, more or less, will have a little bit of evidence.

Evidence from a single family is not enough.

Can it all add up?

Your family has a little bit of criminal evidence of the Beicun family, my family has a little bit, and his family has a little bit more. Dozens and hundreds of them add up. These pieces of evidence are enough to bring the entire Beicun family to an end.

But this never happened.

Why?

Because the benefits are not enough.

The Beicun family has collapsed, and only one family can get the support of the court, but I am not sure if this family is my family, so why should I do this?

The one standing above me, changing from Kitamura's house to another XX's house, does it make any difference to me?

No.

And it lacks a strong motivation.

Each family does not trust each other, and it is difficult for them to get together and hand over the evidence they have to a trustworthy person.

But now... what we did 3 days ago gave them this motivation! "

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile, looked at Takeda Ryoko and said, "What we did 3 days ago made all the families in the county think that the Kitamura family wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with you, the county head. Remove the Minoan family.

So what do you do after removing this stumbling block?

Naturally, he continued what he had done a hundred years ago and continued to annex the major families in the county.

That being the case, in order to protect themselves, each family will never sit idly by, and they will soon unite on their own, get the evidence together, send it to the Law Enforcement Department, and end the Beicun family.

Of course, this thing needs a lead.

And this leading family is the one with the most hope and the support of the palace, and they can't wait to facilitate this.

If nothing else, I guess it should be the Kawashima family with the longest roots in the area. "

"But what's our business?"

Takeda Ryoko looked at Li Guanqi in surprise, "The Kitamura family was destroyed by the alliance, and the court supported the Kawashima family to fight against the Minos family. will listen to us."

"They will."

Li Guanqi smiled, "It will definitely be, and at that time, you, the county owner, will be considered to be the taste."

"why?"

Takeda Ryoko was puzzled.

"Because of rights!"

Li Guanqi pointed to the black official robe on her body, "You are the county magistrate, good son! You must always remember that these two words do not only represent obligations, they not only represent your need to seek welfare for the people, but also represent officials. authority!

After the North Village family is finished, the court needs to support another local family to compete with the Minos orc family.

Support means distributing resources.

The question is, which family to support?

The Kawashima family is the most promising.

But the final decision rests with you, the county chief.

Just like the Anno prefecture next door 52 years ago.

It is up to the head of Anno County to decide which family to support in the end.

Only the county head can choose which family to support.

Therefore, the Kawashima family will definitely come to kneel and lick you, to gain your support at the cost of obeying you in Wenshui County from now on, and let you choose their Kawashima family to accept the support from above.

and also.

After the Beicun family fell, their original site, business and other resources will all be redistributed by you.

It's like dividing the cake.

In this case, not only the Kawashima family, but all other families including the Minos family will try to please you, the cake cutter, in order to share a little more cake.

But here comes the point, this cake, you can't finish it all at once.

Once the distribution is over and others are full, who cares about you?

but.

As long as the cake is not finished in one day, those who want to eat cake have to hold you for a day, because you are the one with the knife in hand.

At that time, even if you are a real ruler in Wenshui County, what you want to do will be a matter of one sentence.

If these families want to get more benefits from you, they must obey you.

That's what power is like, Ryoko. "

Li Guanqi looked at Takeda Ryoko and said with a smile, "That's why I said, at that time, you, the county magistrate, will be considered to be the taste."

"This…"

Takeda Ryoko was slightly stunned, "So we can put all our follow-up plans on hold, because they are no longer needed? After this first step, each family will lose their trust in the Kitamura family, and then they will join hands to report the Kitamura family, and then we can completely successful?"

"Yes."

Li Guanqi nodded.

So thinking about it this way, the place that Takeda Ryoko and her great-grandfather chose for her is really very difficult, and it can't be lower.

It's a pity that this woman's sensitivity to "rights" is too slow.

"One word..."

Takeda Ryoko blinked, unable to return to his senses for a long time, "After all the families jointly report the Kitamura family and bring them down, I will become the true county owner? Because I have the right to divide resources, so the county's Every family has to listen to me? This is... the taste of power?"

"Um?"

But at this time, Li Guanqi suddenly frowned.

Not right.

I was so happy just now that I didn't think about it.

Thinking about it now, if all the families can jointly report and gather a complete chain of evidence, why didn't they do this a hundred years ago when they were about to be annexed by the Beicun family?

Could it be that the Beicun family does things so cleanly that even the hundreds of families in the county cannot gather together a single piece of criminal evidence?

So, the evidence is missing?

Is he happy for nothing?

"Bang bang bang."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of guard running footsteps and the sound of a stomach colliding outside the door.

Takeda Ryoko's soundproof formation in this room is to separate the outside but not the inside, so that the sound from the inside cannot get out, but the sound from the outside can get in.

Because of this, the guard outside the door can run over to report:

"Lord County Head, Clan Head Kawashima asks to see you!"

"Um?"

Takeda Ryoko was taken aback, "Patriarch Kawashima? What is he doing with me?"

"what."

Li Guanqi smiled.

It doesn't seem to be a happy one.

It's no wonder that hundreds of years ago, the various families did not... No, it should not be that they did not do it, but did it, but failed.

If he guessed correctly, there should be something missing from the chain of evidence pieced together by various families in the county.

And this missing part of the evidence, only the county owner can help make up for it.

Therefore, the current Kawashima Patriarch should be here for this matter, and by the way, he will show his loyalty to Takeda Ryoko.

So what kind of evidence does the county head need to help?

"Let him in, Ryoko."

Li Guanqi stood up, walked to the corner, and at the same time used a shape-shifting technique to casually change into the appearance of a stranger, standing there like a guard, "If you need it later, I will teach you how to do it through soul voice transmission. Speaker."

"it is good."

Takeda Ryoko nodded, then sat behind the desk, raised his hand and pressed down on a small fox wood pedestal.

As she pressed down, blue light flickered slightly under the base of the fox wood, spreading the entire study in an instant.

At the same time, she also said calmly: "Let the Kawashima Patriarch come in."

This study is equipped with a soundproof array, so the sound inside cannot be transmitted.

Because of this, if Takeda Ryoko wanted to talk to the person guarding the door, he would have to use this device to temporarily turn off the soundproofing formation.

As for the situation where an assassin suddenly appeared in the room and she needed to shout to the guards, but the voice couldn't get through?

It doesn't appear in the weird world.

Because in most cases, if Takeda Ryoko can't deal with an enemy, it doesn't make sense for the guard outside the door to come in.

After all, under the extraordinary worldview of the weird world, the higher the status, the higher the individual combat power.

In many cases, the guards are actually just decorations on the card surface.

Of course, there must be guards who are stronger than their masters, but such guards generally do not guard outside the door, but always stay by the master's side - just like Li Guanqi who is standing in the corner at this time.

"Squeak-"

At this time, the door of the study was slowly pushed open by the guard.

A young man in a white kimono walked in.

This man with a bit of a "cream scholar" temperament has a gentle smile on his face, and his handsome face is even more infectious because of this smile, especially the pair of bright star eyes, which gives people an extremely profound feeling impression.

After the Kawashima Patriarch entered the door, he soon found Li Guanqi standing in the corner.

His heart froze.

His sixth-order spirit-sensing instrument didn't respond, and he couldn't see the person's martial arts cultivation.

Didn't it mean that when the Takeda family sent the family's children to the assessment, they never sent more family guards?

Forget it, that's not the point.

Patriarch Kawashima calmed down, looked at Takeda Ryoko behind the desk, and bowed respectfully to her.

"In Ryunosuke Shimokawa Island, see the county owner."

"…"

Takeda Ryoko didn't speak, just glanced at the guard outside the door, then waved his hand to signal the other side to close the door.

The guard bowed his head and closed the door.

"boom."

With the reopening of the door to the study, the soundproof spirit cover in this room also reactivated.

At the same time, Takeda Ryoko glanced at Li Guanqi calmly.

Because at the moment when the door was closed, he sent himself a voice transmission of his soul and asked himself to follow it.

"Ryunosuke, what do you think?"

Takeda Ryoko forcibly suppressed a little nervousness in his heart, looked at the Kawashima Patriarch calmly, and said calmly: "Go to see me directly and blatantly? The current Wenshui County is surging, you Kawashima Patriarch has come to the county lord's mansion to find me. , the consequences of this signal, you should know."

"This is a sincerity to the county owner."

Kawashima Longzhi said with a smile, "I came here with sincerity, and this 'openness' is my sincerity. After today, all the families in the county will know my Kawashima family, the county head. The government seeks cooperation with you.

The county owner, we can give you far more than the Beicun family. "

"go on."

Takeda Ryoko leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair, the elbow of his right hand resting on the armrest of the seat, his hand resting on his cheek, looking at each other calmly.

This is also what Li Guanqi taught her.

Body language is also an extremely important language.

"What can you gain from working with the Kitamura family?"

Ryunosuke Kawashima took two steps forward, stood one step away from the desk, looked at Takeda Ryoko and said with a smile: "Maybe, they made a promise to you, say something, you help them bring down the Minos family. A group of tauren, when they become the first family in Wenshui County, they will follow your lead, listen to your dispatch, and so on.

However, promises are meaningless, my county magistrate.

No matter what form of commitment, even the clear text of the soul contract is meaningless. Everything in the world has loopholes, and the soul contract is no exception. There are also loopholes to be exploited.

There is only one thing in the world that is eternal and cannot lie.

That is profit!

If you choose to help Beicun Lei, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com to help the Beicun family, then after the Beicun family dominates in Wenshui County, they will definitely bite you back, because at that time, the entire county will They are the only family alone.

If you want to implement any decree, without them nodding and tying your hands, the situation is more difficult than the current Kitamura family and the Minos family.

Is that what you want?

Probably not.

But on the contrary, if you choose to help our Kawashima family, then the power you will hold will be unprecedentedly huge.

Because of the binding of interests, our Kawashima family will have to obey you.

No promises, no oaths, nothing.

Because interests don't lie.

If we want to benefit from you, we must listen to you. This is a relationship that is far more unbreakable than any form of commitment! "
